REVIEW
Photos are from the powerlines up to the entrance of Cardiac Hill. This section of the Trans Canada trail is the harder climb as there is no respite from the uphill grind.

REVIEW
These photos come from the portion of the Trans Canada that runs along the northside of Burnaby Mt, from the powerlines up to ring road up top.
The trail is mainly used to ride up the mountain but properly now less due to the trails finally cut going up the southside, Sidewinder and Sidewinder South.
If you are into a punishing climb this is the trail for you if you combine it with Cardiac Hill. Other than that the trail is well maintained and used by everyone out enjoying Burnaby Mt. One of the bonus parts of the trail are the views of Burrard Inlet, quite nice.
